Okay, when i read this thread, i was acutally amaze that someone actually wrote a little tutorial on this. It got me really interested in starting my own little newbie website.
The problem is i'm very new at this. I just got finished downloading the PHP-Triad, but.. didn't get too far in it.
I guess the question, is how do you start doing this?
I got the apache to run.. but that's just about it.
Ok, well next you want to put some files into C:\apache\htdocs\
to test you could simply copy and paste the following into notepad
Code:
<html>
<head>
<title>test</title>
</head>
<body>
This is a test file
</body>
</html>
and save it as C:\apache\htdocs\index.html then open http://localhost/ in your browser, if that shows up with the page you just made, then you can continue to create other pages and add them to the folder.
Thanks.. i got it to show that.. but.. uhmm..okay.. i'm going to sound like i'm very stupid or what not.. but really.. i'm reallllly new at this thing and i'm so exacted to learn =) what to do next..
say, if i just a forum. how would i go about puting the forum into use with this?
I just downloaded a forum thangy from http://www.phpbb.com/ but again.. i have no idea how to even incorporate this into the php you just tought me .. =)
Ok, I've had no experience at installing phpBB (perhaps someone else has) but there should be a readme or installation notes file included with it.
It will probably tell you to do soemthing along the lines of un-zipping it into your webfolder (htdocs) and editing one of the config files which will set everything up.
You will probably need to run the server and SQL daemon (available from the start menu) to get a forum working.
Ive installed phpBB too many times
To install it, just go to http://localhost/phpBB2/install/install.php and fill out the relevant boxes. When thats done just press install, then Finish Installation. It will say to delete the contrib and the install directories. Just delete them and youre done!
P.s for the use of phpBB, you will need to have MySQL or similar installed. I recommend getting MySQL and the Control Center for ease of use. Just create a database, call it what you like and phpBB will do the rest.
if you download PHPDev from http://www.firepages.com.au/devindex.htm
then you get Apache, PHP, MySQL, phpMyAdmin, and so on all preinstalled, not as fun or educational than setting it up yourself though
Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
